Word of the Day: personality profile

Word of the Day Daily updates on the latest technology terms |February 28, 2017

personality profile A personality profile is a knowledge management tool that is used to evaluate an employee's personal attributes, values and life skills and maximize his or her job performance and contribution to the company. Questions in a personality profile test are designed to seek out information about an employee's temperament, decision-making methods, communication style and general attitude towards work and recreation. The information is used to match the right employee to the right project or task, especially when group work is involved. There are two accepted categories of personality profile tests, trait and type. Trait personality profile tests, such as Orpheus, 16 PF and OPQ, operate on the assumption that personality is made up of many characteristics. The goal of this type of test is to document the employee's characteristics and match the characteristics to appropriate roles within the company. This type of personality profile is often used to identify who might make a good manager. Type personality profile tests, such as Myers-Briggs, Insights Discovery and the Keirsey Temperament Sorter, propose that personalities fall into distinct categories. The goal of this type of test is to identify which category or categories an employee aligns with. This type of personality profile is often used to teach team members about the value that each personality type brings to the table. Advocates of personality profiling claim that it's a valuable reality check when viewed in the context of an employee's job performance. Critics argue that the advent of sophisticated knowledge management technology can put too much emphasis on the process involved in gathering and mining employee data, instead of using face-to-face communication and continuous assessment to judge an employee's strengths and weaknesses.

Hire for personality, not just skills, to build your startup team A detailed skills inventory can help guide you when hiring your startup team, but the personality mix matters even more, says entrepreneur Bryan Barringer. What are the traits of a successful project manager? Successful project managers come in all varieties, but they all have some common traits that contribute to getting the job done.

Word of the Day: citizen development

Word of the Day Daily updates on the latest technology terms |February 27, 2017

citizen development Citizen development is a low code approach to software development that allows people to create software programs without needing to know anything about programming languages or how to write code. A low-code development environment allows the user to select icons that represent different application functions, connect components together like Lego blocks, apply actions, test to make sure the programming works as expected and publish the new code. In business, citizen development has evolved along with IT consumerization. In the past, employees seeking to make a change to a business application were often frustrated by how long it could take for a simple request to make its way through a development queue in a centralized information technology (IT) department. It could take months for even the smallest project to be approved, by which time priorities may have changed because a competitor was able to respond to changing business requirements in a more agile manner. A citizen approach, in contrast, empowers business users to create new applications or features very quickly, using an approved development environment managed by the organization's information technology (IT) department. This approach not only speeds innovation, but it also makes the application development process more efficient and helps eliminate security problems associated with shadow IT and third-party apps. In order to meet the needs of employees who must respond quickly to a changing marketplace, some large enterprise application vendors are providing their customers with the ability to build applications on top of their business platforms. For example, in 2016, Salesforce announced it would bring its Lightning development platform to all six of its production clouds to enable greater ease of development and standardization of practices in developing on top of Salesforce. Quote of the Day "A citizen developer using rapid mobile app development tools can get a foundation for an app in place before a qualified developer steps in." - Eddie Lockhart   Trending Terms IT consumerization Lightning shadow IT BYOA mobile application development platform   Learning Center How low-code development makes building mobile apps easier It's a mobile world, but unfortunately, the apps are hard to build and developers are scarce. Low-code development platforms are the answer. The citizen developer has arrived A citizen developer using rapid mobile app development tools can get a foundation for an app in place before a qualified developer steps in. Why (and how) the citizen developer is going to be your new BFF Citizen developers are making more customer-facing applications faster than ever before. And they're helping traditional developers with the backlog. Why 2017 looks like a year of change for software development jobs Software development jobs are changing, as new tools empower departmental citizen developers. Are Agile and DevOps laying the groundwork for more change? Citizen developers pull the rug out from under IT with RMAD tools RMAD tools spur the trend of citizen developers in the enterprise, as professionals are impatient with IT taking too long to deliver mobile business apps.
